Thy Will Be Done
Linda Down had a crazy idea, she was going to run the New York City Marathon. Linda had cerebral palsy she walked with difficulty, so running seemed out of the question? She read Phil. 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." While training, she listened for God. She thought as she was running in the dark at night: "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction about things not seen" (Heb. 11:1)
As the New York City Marathon began that cold morning, she wore gloves on her hands to soften the impact of her crutches. It was windy on the bridge and uphill. She had not expected the beginning to be so difficult. As she finished the mile-long Verrazano Narrows bridge, there were no runners in sight ahead of her. Spectators were gone for the most part. But one little girl ran out into the street and cheered her on, "You can do it!" Others on the curb later applauded and cheered and shouted. They brought tears to Lindas eyes and helped her to keep going.
